Waldo Canyon *PR*

7 Miles 54:36 10:20 am) 50's sunnyAnother PR at Waldo. Last time I ran here I took 40 seconds offmy best and today took an additional 39 seconds off my best.I'm a bit surprised I'm running so well considering my trainingvolume is pretty low and I'm about 7-8 pounds heavier than Iwas last fall.I'm not running much but I am hitting 3 quality workouts perweek. The other 4 days are either days off, cross trainingor easy runs. Yesterday I even played some tennis for the first time in years. Might do more of that this summer justto do something different. I think tennis might be good forme as it will strengthen some lateral muscles that I don'tuse in running.

Steve and Craig,Thanks! I am pretty happy with breaking 55 minutes for the first time on the loop. I guess I will have to shoot for some new time goals. Sub 54? Might no be that far off.GZ, I think you can do well with this approach. You can kill your hard days and just chill on your easy days.Sean, You are correct. Running hard every day just wears you out and results will diminish.
